Haiku Submissions
School districts/students must be a part of the Greater Dane County Advanced Learners Network to participate in the Haiku contest. Students must be currently in the 4th grade. A teacher's guide to writing haiku is linked here and is also available at the bottom of this page. Teacher encouragement while completing haiku is very helpful. Entries must be submitted by February 10 and all entries must follow the requirements listed below. A panel of judges will read all entries and determine winners. Winners are announced by early April. A booklet containing winning Haikus is published and distributed to student winners and participating districts. Winning authors and the families are invited to attend a celebration in late April to honor their work.
how to participate
Districts sign up to participate during the GDCALN signup process in the fall. All participating districts will receive an invitation in December to a Google Team Drive entitled “Haiku GCDALN”. This drive will contain instructions about submitting entries.
